I have written the pattern for three colours but you can make it with just two if you like. As you read the pattern it will become obvious how to incorporate fewer or more colours. My preference is to use a very light Aran (worsted) weight wool for the main colour that forms the triangles, and a slightly lighter DK paired with a mohair for the ...

A beautiful hat created to show off my snowflake stitch. All knit and purls except for 2 slightly fiddly rows once in every repeat. Deeply textured, and very unique. A nice open texture (not too warm) even though it is knitted in two colours of worsted (or DK weight) yarn.

University scarves most often have long stripes of different colours, taken from a particular university’s crest or colour scheme. These long vertical stripes are awkward to knit with normal scarf construction, unless you turn the scarf on its side to knit. This simple pattern is all about creating an elegant, simple, perfect scarf. The elegan...

This pattern is written to help you create something unique. You have here all of the instructions to make exactly the same scarf that I made. You ALSO have the ability to customise it. Each of the sections (or blocks, as I will call them) has a different pattern and is easy to substitute – so if you particularly like (or don’t like) one, you c...

This scarf is inspired by icy winter. The spikey icicle edge is knitted first in this scarf. And when just 3 stitches of it remain, the rest of the scarf will start to grow into life – you will pick up stitches gradually as you work your way through the pattern.  Although this scarf is knitted in lighter yarn (fingering, or sock weight), it is...

I’ve designed this Nordic style hat so that you never have to carry floats. The so-called rule in stranded colourwork is that you should carry floats if there are more than 5 stitches in between successive knits in a particular colour. There are actually three points when you change rows where you’ll have 6 stitches, but these are one oƯs, so I...

I want to free you of knitting from a pattern. I want you to create something wonderful and unique. The aim of this pattern is for you to knit something beautiful, WITHOUT a traditional, line-by-line pattern! What this ‘pattern’ will show you is how to knit a simple motif, and how to vary it, and to give you some ideas about how you might knit ...

Designed with a creative twist, the pattern offers the perfect opportunity to showcase your favourite leftover yarns if you want to add bands of extra colours. I have used 4 colours - 2 of the colours need almost entire skeins (100g) but the other two need around half balls. But each row of bricks uses approximately 5g (about 18m) of yarn, and ...

This scarf features two colours, and is a warmer and thicker design, in worsted weight wool. It’s shape is a highly elongated triangle, so that it is worn more as a scarf than a shawl. And

This scarf features four colours, and is a warmer and thicker design, in worsted weight wool. It turns many traditional elements of knitted scarfs upside down (or at least rotated a bit) as the scarf is knitted lengthways, and also from the midline outwards. If you want a narrower scarf or would prefer one of the edges to be straight, the seco...

This scarf features five colours, and is great for using up leftovers. Aside from the main colour (which takes around 3/4 of a ball of sock/ light-fingering yarn), you only need around a third of a ball of each of the other 4 colours. The brioche and zigzag sections benefit from strong contrast colours. Whereas other parts of the scarf can use ...

Only attempt if you are comfortable knitting two colour brioche in the round - plenty of good YouTube videos out there to help with that. Pick two contrasting colours to make the hat really pop The decreases are fiddly and take patience. Make sure you have knitted all the stitches together before you pull them off your needle. When casting o...
